Numerous specimens of this form, collected by Dr. Archer are 

 before me. It belongs to the group including M. holdsworthiana, 

 M. subplicata, M. mariei — a groujD of minute elevated turritted shells, 

 narrower and more elevated than G. pisum Phil, and its allies.

Assab, Abyssinia. 



G. pantanellii Caramag., Bull. Soc. Mai. Ital. xiii, p. 128 (1888). 

 Evidently allied to the preceding species, but distinguished by the 

 coloration, granulose carinte, crenated umbilicus, etc.
